In the city of Mumbai
Jewish bodies die.
In the black heart of hate
Blood pours like spilt paint.
Gavriel the angel is clipping his wings
Destined for Heaven – lamentations he sings.
Rebecca is lulling her babies to sleep
The garden's wet dew cannot help but weep.
Sarah the savior – a lone warrior in flight
Battles the pharaohs with vision and light.
Baby Moses is crouching –safe in the reeds
A future awaits – planting hope seeds.
We are still crying
Our children are dying
We are still praying
Our bodies are swaying
We want Redemption
Desperation
Preparation
Negotiation
Pleading
Begging
Now!
